DR.. Talmage's First Cigar.

The time had come in my boyhood
which thought had demanded of me
capacity to smoke. The old people
of the household could abide neither
the sight nor the smell of the virginia
weed. When ministers came there,
not by positive injunction, but by sort
Of instinct as to what would be safest,
they whitfield their pipes on the back

how little chance there was for Adde'S
cent cigar-pufling
BY some rare good fortune which put
in my hands three cents, found access
to tobacco store. As the lid of the
long narrow, fragrant box opened,
and for the first time l owned a cigar,
my feelings of elevation, manliness,
superiority and anticipation can scarce
ly be imagined, save by those who have
had the same sensation. When j put
the cigar to my lips, and struck the
lucifcr match to the end of the weed,
and commenced to pull with an energy
that brought every facial muscle to its
utmost tension, my satisfaction with
this world was so great my temptation
was never to want to leave it.
The cigar did not burn well. 1t re-
quired an amount of suction that task

but the lozenges. People cant be too
careful about eating confectionery con-
tain ng strong and pungent essences.
What ! have said about wintergreen
is equally true of pepper, peppermint
and cinnamon. CONNECTIONS contain

medicines for certain diseases of the
bowels, but to Use them as delcacies

said that most of them are made of re-

arc made of fruit they are stuffed with
drugs to improve the color and flavor,
and to eat spoonful OF them is to doom
yourself TO q day Or two of constipation,

from experience that what he said was
true, and l quietly dropped my lozen-
ges into an ash-barrel.

THE RIFLE

Since the formation of the Hawaiian
Rifle Association, the development OF
interest in rife shooting has been most
marked, as we have previously had
occasion to notice, not only in Homo
lulu, but in almost every portion OF the
islands "A large number Of gentlemen
have attached themselves to the vari-
GUS associations throughout the King
dom, and rine-shooting has been ele-
waited from an exceptional sport to one
of our most popular amusements, The
progress made by the riaemen has also
been on full level with the general
interest displayed in the practice. Scores
averaging over eighty per cent are quite
common at matches over the ranges OF
the Hawaiian Association. A team
from this association only last week de
feated, by a very large excess, a picked
team from the British ship.of-war
"Caroline," among whom was one Of
the best shots in the British army and
navy combined, and all Of whom were
considered first-class. ttt
The desire to excel is apparent moi
only in the results, but in the induce
ments from time to time offered in the
shape Of medals and money or othel
We are led to this remark by seeing ;
new Springfield rife and bayonet com
plete, in the window Of Mr.. Hewetfi
bookstore, labelled, Presented by
Quartermaster Hall, Of the Honolulu
Rifles, to the members Of the corp,
Daring those who have a score record
of seventy per cent in any single match
who shall make the highest score with
Springfield rife at any company o.
battalion match over the Hawaiian
Rifle Association ranges up to and in
Guiding May a4th ensuing" We con
slider the idea of barring out the hes
shots in these popular military MATCHES
a wise one, which will lead to genera
practice, and development Throughout
the whole force The value Of a mill
tary force is its efficiency: against this
numbers count as nothing. We ar,
glad to see the Rifles taking their plac
in front as skillful marksmen, as the,
have already done in the line of mill
tary drill and discipline.
